Chris Ash thread...

[MSOrange]

I've watched Bill Belichick coach for 15 years running... no one is the next Belichick.

You mean it takes more than wearing a Patriots sweatshirt?

Maybe this guy will hold players accountable for missed tackles and blown coverages. I'd be happy with that, I'm sure they have some killer technique at the Ohio State University.

It's really not worth comparing NFL and college. They are very different games these days.

Well here's the PERFECT example for ya then. PETE CARROL. Defensive coach. Successful at the college level? Successful offense at USC?

Gathering information about Chris Ash so people can form an informed opinion, rather than... he's only the co defensive coordinator approach. While I am not thrilled about this development, lets try to keep this on topic and useful conversation.

Useful information, that.

 

[DoubleDee]

With all that history at Iowa state, is it telling that they didn't give him a shake?

Good article about Ash fixing the OSU defense

"Ash brought the Cover 4, press quarters system with him to Ohio State, implementing it in the spring of 2014, enduring some bumps and bruises early in the season then thriving down the stretch as the Buckeyes won the national title."

From his time at Wiscy

"In 2012, the Badgers led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA with a three-and-out percentage of 41.72, and their 5.23 three and outs per game topped the Big Ten and was fourth in the country. The Badgers' defense was 13th in the NCAA in total defense and tied for 19th in the country in scoring defense.

In three games against Ohio State while at UW, the Badgers defense held the Buckeyes to less than 120 yards per game passing despite losing two of those games. Braxton Miller was Ohio State's quarterback in two of those games and Terrell Pryor was under center in the other."

Writer that covers Ohio St. on the other site said the Ohio St. defense is Ash and everything changed when he came in to the fold.

I do like his energy.

There. I said something positive about the man. He also looks smarter in glasses - so he should keep wearing them.

Basically everything I am reading suggests that as well.

My understand he totally changed the pass defense and everything I have read says he is an outstanding defensive backs coach.
